AMD will trotz Speicherkrise GPU-Preise durch Partnerschaften möglichst stabil halten. Doch die explodierenden VRAM-Kosten und der aggressive KI-Sektor säen Zweifel. Wie realistisch ist das Versprechen angesichts der aktuellen Marktlage wirklich? (Weiter lesen)

Newegg is offering 16GB of TeamGroup DDR5-6000 RAM with a $50 discount code.

SK hynix is investing $12.9 billion to build a campus-scale, HBM-only advanced packaging and test facility in Cheongju, South Korea, designed for the next generation of HBM memory and intended to ensure SK hynix's leadership in the booming market.

Smartphones werden 2026 spürbar teurer. Eine massive Speicher­krise, ausgelöst durch den KI-Boom, lässt die Hardware-Kosten explodieren. Auch Nothing steht vor der Wahl: Entweder die Preise anheben oder die technische Ausstattung reduzieren. (Weiter lesen)

Der PC-Markt erlebt ein unerwartetes Hoch, doch der Schein trügt. Während die Verkaufszahlen Ende 2025 förmlich explodierten, braut sich im Hintergrund ein perfekter Sturm zusammen. Grund sind natürlich die steigenden Preise für RAM und andere Komponenten. (Weiter lesen)

Das Ende der Marke Crucial verärgert viele PC-Nutzer. Micron wehrt sich nun gegen den Vorwurf, Endkunden für KI im Stich zu lassen, und erklärt, dass man jetzt auf anderem Wege helfe. Gleichzeitig dämpft der Speicherriese Hoffnungen auf baldige Preissenkungen. (Weiter lesen)

Ein russischer Bastler baut seinen Arbeitsspeicher selbst zusammen, um hohen Preisen zu entgehen. Das Projekt demonstriert die komplexe Technik hinter RAM-Riegeln, zeigt aber auch deutlich, warum sich der enorme Aufwand für normale Nutzer nicht lohnt. (Weiter lesen)

DIY DDR5 is no longer just a concept, but a reality, as modder VIK-on has built his first 32GB stick from scavenged parts. The memory chips came from laptop SODIMMs, while a new PCB and cooler were acquired from China. After flashing custom firmware enabling 6400 MT/s XMP, the entire build put together cost $218.

Chinese researchers have demonstrated a 4F² dual-gate 2T0C capacitor-less, DRAM-like memory cell with multi-bit storage, fast writes, and long retention. In theory, the technology could be used as embedded or stacked 3D memory, but questions remain about its manufacturability and commercial viability.

After numerous delays, Micron is about to start building its $100 billion site in New York to produce 40% of its DRAM output in the U.S. in the 2040s.

In China’s spot market, vendors are quoting prices that put a box of 100 high-capacity DDR5 server memory modules at roughly 5 million yuan,

Chinese memory maker CXMT prepares to file for IPO in Beijing, aiming to raise $4.2 billion USD in order to expand production and fund next-gen DRAM development.

A former Samsung Engineer accused of offering the secrets behind the company's 10nm DRAM data to China's ChangXin Memory Technologies has been accused of making hundreds of handwritten notes on detailed process steps.

As we face an unprecedented memory crisis, some vendors are still upping the ceiling, introducing higher capacity RAM kits for eye-gouging prices. This time, though, it's registered ECC server memory not meant for consumers, and therefore, asking the price of a borderline luxurious car is justified here.

Asus has directly shut down a spurious rumor claiming it would enter the memory market within the next six months.

What are you willing to do to get your hands on DDR5 memory these days? Whatever it is, it probably doesn't match the lengths these Russian modders are reaching by trying to build their own RAM. You can actually follow along with your own parts, along with a bit of time to solder the memory ICs to the PCB.

SK hynix is expanding its U.S. presence with a new office in the Seattle metropolitan area, placing the world’s leading HBM supplier within minutes of Nvidia, Amazon, and Microsoft.

Samsung has delayed the end of its DDR4 production line due to increased demand, and is expected to earmark output for a client signing an NCNR contract with the company.

In an extremely timely mix-up, someone on the r/pcmasterrace subreddit sent one of the sticks in their 96 GB kit of Corsair's Vengeance DDR5 for an RMA and received non-functional dummy RAM in return. Customer's real memory was worth at least $1000 while the decorative modules are just $35.
